What do you mean? Have you seen the movie yet? (I haven't.)
D'Souza has a theory that a major way to understand Obama is by assuming that he is channeling his father's anti-colonial feelings. This doesn't make any sense to me since Obama apparently only spent a few days with his father in his entire life. Even most people who get to spend a lot of time with their parents do not end up thinking exactly like them. It just seems to me that this is the type of provocative but big-stretch idea that academics sometimes like to engage in.
I haven't seen the movie nor read "Root of Obama's Rage". I have heard D'Souza speaking on C-SPAN on multiple occasions. I do agree with some of the things he says.
‘Scuse me. “Dreams From My Father” was a book written by Obama.
If "Dreams from My Father" was about his father's dreams, you would have a major point. But as I recall, it is not.
In fact, DeSouza shows that Obama has taken on the psychological burden that his father created as a sort of life’s tribute to a father that was based on the rage and hatred of the typical paranoid Marxist.
Doesn't that sound like one of those convoluted psychiatric theories that ultimately don't make sense?
